Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Since he was deprived of his official position and had one son demoted and the other exiled, Yu Jin's house is no longer as crowded with guests as before. The followers stopped visiting frequently, and Yu Jin himself became low-key and cautious. Except for his close relatives and friends, he no longer entertained guests at home.

When the imperial guards suddenly arrived at Yongguo's mansion, the whole mansion suddenly became panicked and commotion. Even Yu Jin suddenly changed his face and whispered to the close servants: "How could the Supreme Lord be here?" Don’t want to disturb each other?”

However, as these Forbidden Army soldiers explained their intention to come, saying that Supreme Lord Yong would be here soon to visit Duke Yong, they were just ordered to come in advance to set up warnings. The panicked Yu Jin family members calmed down, and soon became confused again. He cheered up and actively cooperated with the Forbidden Army soldiers in making various security arrangements, even cutting down a few old locust trees that had been transplanted into the mansion with great effort at the beginning of the year.

There is strength in numbers, and even though Yu Jin's mansion occupies an extremely large area, it only took less than an hour to clean up its appearance. The screen wall in the front courtyard and the verandah room were all demolished, the gravel on the ground was also cleaned, and a thick felt blanket was laid on it.

The overall change in the central hall for banquets is not great, but it has been cleaned from the ceiling beams to the eaves, and the furnishings in the hall have also been replaced. Some of the overly luxurious and gorgeous furnishings have been replaced with simple and restrained decorations.

As for the inner hall of the mansion, although the Supreme Being will not come here, some of the female family members and servants in the mansion have also been moved to other places. Guards officers have been stationed in the front and corridors of the hall, and the staple food staff and wine and food of the Provincial Food Bureau in the palace Materials are also arriving here one after another.

This is not only the first time His Majesty the Emperor has visited the minister's residence since the founding of the dynasty, but also when everyone in the world felt that Yu Jin was about to fall out of favor and power, and even Yu Jin's family members had such thoughts, suddenly the Holy Family descended again, and the entire Yong Kingdom The palace is filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere. Even if they were asked to demolish the entire mansion and then rearrange it, they would be happy to do so.

The Imperial Army officers and domestic slaves were rearranged in the house, and Yu Jin put on a solemn and luxurious costume. He led his children, grandchildren, and relatives to the outside of the square gate early to wait for the arrival of the holy driver.

The Supreme Lord came to the Yongguo Palace today, but he also invited some other ministers and nobles from the province. Therefore, when it was getting close to evening, the invited ministers who were distributed among the various houses in the city also gathered at Jinfang Residence. Come.

Since the Holy Spirit had not yet arrived, no one dared to go to Yu Jin's house first, so they all waited outside the gate with Yu Jin's family. However, because the Wuhous of Zuojin Street had been notified early, they all worked hard to direct the traffic. Although there were many officials gathered from all parties, they did not cause any traffic jams, and they came and went in an orderly manner. Orderly.

"The Supreme Being may take this opportunity to warn the disciples in the region, but if they can follow the street cleaning order and be careful not to violate the rules, even if there are huge crowds and travelers gathering, they will not block the streets and make it difficult for people and horses to move in the city!"

When an official came here and saw this scene, he couldn't help but think to himself. Recently, a street cleaning order has been issued in Kinei, and many houses of powerful people in Beijing have inevitably been picketed. Therefore, when seeing similar scenes, they can't help but subconsciously make associations.

Although everyone has different opinions and feelings about this new street cleaning method, and quite a few powerful people in the region cannot help but feel conflicted, but after a period of intensive law enforcement, many people have also realized this. There is a ban, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they have also begun to consciously reduce some illegal behaviors.

After all, these behaviors are nothing more than convenience. However, if once the Jingzhao Mansion or the two county governments are targeted, no matter whether the punishment is light or heavy, it will undoubtedly add a lot of annoyance, which will exceed the previous violations. Comes conveniently.

When the sky was getting dark, the holy driver arrived as promised, and everyone gathered their emotions and went to welcome him.

"There are some cases that have been accumulated in the ban. I will not have time to go out until I have finished handling them. Thank you for your waiting."

Li Tai walked slowly down from the chariot, first waved to the Chinese, civil and military ministers who had been waiting for a long time, then stepped forward again and leaned over to pull up Yu Jin, who was already worshiping on the left side of the road. He said with a warm smile: "I'm entering today. When I come to visit you, I feel very lucky that Duke Yong doesn’t bother anyone with being a bad guest. I really don’t need to be polite!”

"I am really scared to accept such a courtesy from the Supreme Being! The Supreme Lord has given you such a blessing, and the family is shining brightly. If you use this as a way to disturb me, I will secretly wish that you will come and go every day and every day!"

Yu Jin still bowed deeply, and then stood up with the help of the Supreme Being. He held the Supreme Lord's arms tightly with both hands, so that Li Tai had difficulty withdrawing his arms and wanted to help Yang who was praying behind him. Zhong and others couldn't do it, so they could only smile and say: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite."

Li Tai felt the right strength of Yu Jin's palm on his arm, and for a moment he couldn't help but sigh that life will eventually grow old.

Yu Jin has also experienced ups and downs in the human world for many years. However, as he gets older, especially after their era ends, it is difficult to obtain new achievements and prestige through conventional channels, and can only maintain it through other methods. To achieve his own influence in the current situation, he may need to use some small actions that even he himself was not very fond of in the past.

For now, even if Yu Jin becomes the only minister present to receive the Supreme Support and free gift, this is really nothing to Li Tai. If he wanted to, he could spend half an hour tonight helping all the ministers who were paying their respects to their feet one by one. For Jin, this actually doesn't have much practical significance, but it can bring him a lot of comfort.

After putting away the emotion in his heart, Li Tai did not deliberately ignore Yu Jin's face, but held Yu Jin's wrist with his backhand, and then walked into the workshop together. In addition to nodding in response to the ministers one by one, he also asked Yu Jin to introduce the descendants of the Yu family standing behind the ministers with great interest.

Yu Jin's family is Ding Xingwang. In addition to those who were dealt with before and who are serving as officials abroad, there are more than a dozen descendants and grandchildren present. The older ones are mature and prudent, while the younger ones are no more than young children.

Among the Liuzhu Kingdom, the first batch of leaders of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Jin's family is the most prosperous, and Yu Jin is the only one still alive today. From the perspective of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is indeed a bit eye-catching.

Of course, Li Tai's visit this time was not to get rid of this annoying existence. It would be somewhat wrong to murder a hero for such a reason. Even a high-spirited young man like Qi Zhu Gao Yang would not do that.

The hall of Yu Jin's house was originally very spacious and majestic. After some modifications and decorations, it could accommodate more guests. Li Tai mainly invited the top ministers in the court today. After everyone took their seats, the hall was very relaxed and comfortable.

“My lord is so busy with state affairs that he still takes the time to bestow favors and visit me. I am really grateful and flattered. I hate that I am old and weak and have nothing to offer. I can only have a cup of sweet wine to wish my lord eternal blessings and endless life! "

As everyone came to the hall and sat down, Yu Jin, as the host, took the lead in standing up to toast. He still had some doubts and uneasiness in his heart, because he did not know the specific intention of the Supreme Lord's visit to his home today, plus the blow he had suffered recently. , so today I also set my posture very low.

However, Li Tai gave Yu Jin enough face and stood up from the banquet in person. He came to Yu Jin's banquet with a cup in hand and said with a smile: "Yu Gonggong is in the country and his reputation is all over the world. What is the meaning of nothing? I have already accepted it." It’s been a long time! The friendship is so deep that it’s hard to express it in words. After drinking this cup, we will understand each other!”

When Yu Jin heard these words, his face immediately showed excitement. He raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. He kept this posture for a while, until the remaining wine on the wall of the cup was gone. It flowed into the mouth, and then he held the empty cup with both hands to express his gratitude, as if the cup was really some jade liquid and fine wine.

Afterwards, Yang Zhong and other ministers also stood up to toast. Although Li Tai could not respond one by one, he filled his wine glass with wine and drank it all in one gulp. When he returned to the table, he sighed again: "It's a great day! Not only are I reunited with all my old friends, but also because I and all the public have contributed to this world together! In the past, the Qi family stole their lives and made me trapped in the pass. Although I have strength, I can't stretch it. Now that the powerful enemies have been eliminated and the mountains and rivers are unimpeded, all of you have contributed a lot. I am here to command the world and I should also express my gratitude to all the people in the world!"

"The Lord, in accordance with the destiny of heaven, protects the people of the world. I am so fortunate to obey the Lord, donate this small body, and achieve great success!"

Everyone spoke humbly, and their expressions became more joyful. Now that each of them has achieved success and fame, they are already deeply happy. When they think about the fact that the old enemies of Northern Qi have all become slaves to the country's subjugation, the joy naturally becomes doubly intense.

Li Tai left the palace in person today and came to Yu Jin's mansion to meet with the ministers. Naturally, it was not just for another celebration. He first had a banquet with everyone, making the atmosphere in the hall cheerful and lively, but soon It's going to ruin the atmosphere.

After drinking all the wine in the glass in front of him, he raised his hand to stop the waiter from coming in to pour the wine. Then he sighed with some sadness, looked down at the laughing people in the hall, and said silently. The voice said: "A lot of things have happened in Ji recently, and many of your families are involved. Today, you have put aside the worries of your own families and still come here to enjoy each other, which shows the depth of our friendship."

When these words were spoken, the relatively joyful atmosphere in the hall immediately cooled down. Many people had been forcing smiles on their faces, but now the smiles on their faces became more and more superficial. I don't know if they should continue to maintain it. .

"In the former, the world was in chaos, the right path was not prosperous, people had to adapt to their needs, and sometimes the laws were not strict. But this is not the norm, it is just a way to deal with chaos. Now that the constitution has decreed and everything is new, the chaos of the past naturally needs to be eliminated one by one. Even though the Lord is the Son of Heaven, he should also be the Holy King of Peace. Therefore, he will issue administrative orders and preach to the king, so that all industries will prosper and everyone will obey the law."

Yang Zhong, who had been relatively silent, stood up from the banquet and said to the Supreme Being with a serious expression: "There are indeed some uneasy things in my family, but they are all caused by the dishonesty of my family. I will not dare to beg for help until I can be judged impartially." Favoritism.”

He learned from his bride that because she entered the palace to plead for mercy and was seen by the Supreme Being, the Supreme Being came out of the palace to meet with the ministers on the spur of the moment, so he kept beating drums in his heart. When he heard that the Supreme Being took the initiative to open this topic, he quickly stood up. Expressed his stance.

When the rest of the people heard what Yang Zhong said, their expressions became a little unnatural, especially Yu Jin, who had already been dealt with. His face became even more serious now, and he even began to wonder whether the Supreme Being was in cahoots with him today. Yang Zhong and others came to his home to continue beating and punishing him?

"Gong An Guo's words are indeed reasonable and appropriate, but they are also somewhat alienated from human feelings. To govern the world, we really need to rely on abiding by the law, but the law and human feelings also have something in common."

Li Tai first raised his hand to signal Yang Zhong to sit down, and then he spoke again: "I am now fulfilling my duties as the supreme leader, but how can it be the sole responsibility of pacifying the world and creating the country? Everyone in the position is helping me with all my strength, and I know it in my heart. Wealth and honor are shared, and it is natural to enact legislation to control the people, so that the world can be governed. However, the only person who can speak between me and the ministers is the law.

Now I ask you, who has made great achievements but does not expect long-term success? Did the Qi family ever have such a happy time? Why is it difficult to continue his career and be destroyed in one lifetime? In addition to the fact that the emperors and ministers of our Tang family are heroic and brave in attacking them, is it also related to the depravity of their children and their inability to maintain their careers? Their disciples were noble in the past, but now they are slaves to our Tang family. Why? "

At this point, he looked at Yu Jin again and continued to say seriously: "The founders of the principality and their qualifications are deep enough to benefit many children and grandchildren, but can this family build a country?"

After Yu Jin heard the words, he stood up in a hurry and said with a face of shame: "I was disrespectful in my family education, my disciples were dishonest, and I failed to observe the family rules clearly, so I violated the laws of the country. I should be punished. I only regret that I could not eliminate the crime in the future." hair."

"The words of the public servant are serious. Although it is a good example for a minister to accept both public and private affairs, if it is difficult to do both, putting public affairs first and private affairs first is also a sign of loyalty and diligence. In front of the public, a lot of work is done on state affairs, and it is inevitable that family affairs will be neglected. Therefore, the court needs to negotiate reductions and redemptions, and the court should be lenient. But you should also know that the court is merciful to reward you, but not to increase the evil of your followers!"

When Li Tai said this, he simply stood up from the table, looked around them, and then said: "The trees around ten are like tillers. If the trees are reborn, dead branches will kill them. How can the crown and leaves be strong?" At that time, you all sacrificed your lives to serve the country, how can I tolerate your fate to be extinguished in a moment? How easy is it for you to be rich and noble in one life? If any of you has trouble in life, it is my fault! If you don’t keep it, who is more to blame?”

"Your Majesty has good intentions, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart!"

After everyone heard this, they all avoided the table and stood up, bowing in response.

"The feeling of licking a calf is inevitable for everyone. If Yu Gong can't bear his children wandering around in the rivers and lakes after all, he can lead them back to his home tonight."

Li Tai looked at Yu Jin again and said with a smile.

After Yu Jin heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, bowed his head, and said deeply, "I thank you so much for your love. This evil son has violated the law of the country and is no longer allowed to do so!"
